Quite a useless book aimed at the murican PhD of two decades ago. A painful waste of time. Not recommended.

Common sense. I like particularly the emphasis on consistently writing.

[Bahar]

It is a good book to read before starting to write your thesis around proposal time.

[Sovatha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very useful book to read when writing your dissertation. Even more useful if you get to read this before you start writing or as you are entering a PhD program. Pretty straight forward info on a pretty not straight forward process. Either way, this book can be used as a guide one way or another throughout the PhD process.

This book was generally helpful, although much of the material seems designed as a basic entry point for students who have no prior exposure to materials regarding doctoral work and who are not familiar with the process at all. I did gain knowledge from the author's perspective, however, and I appreciated the insight particularly from the inclusion of doctoral students' personal experiences.
